Longrow is released in annual batches, this bottle is dated 12/07/2018
Longrow is double distilled and a heavily peated single malt produced at Springbank Distillery. The malt is peat dried for 48 hours giving the malt a unique Campbeltown smoky character.
First distilled in 1973, Longrow is the result of an experiment carried out by the chairman, who set out to prove that an Islay style single malt could be produced on the mainland.
Named after another lost distillery from Campbeltown, which once operated right next door to the Springbank Distillery and whose warehouse now houses their bottling hall.
Longrow was first produced in 1973 to provide a peaty, oily and robust component to a blend being created at the time. More heavily peated and double distilled, it has been a staple in the production calendar since the 1990s.
Longrow Peated offers those who enjoy a heavily peated whisky the chance to enjoy a lingering, smoky taste that travels through the senses like the smoke billows from a kiln.
Matured in Bourbon and Sherry Casks. Non Chill Filtered and Natural Colour bottled at 46%
Nose: Very creamy, vanilla custard. The smoke develops gradually, rather than overpowering the other aromas present. Toasted marshmallows, herbs and rich fruits appear over time.
Palate: Incredibly well balanced; rich and creamy with a slight medicinal hint. The smoke is always present, washing over the palate in waves, like the soft billows of smoke from the Kiln.
Finish: The gentle smoke lingers and lingers leaving you yearning for more.
